In the waters off the Hawaiian Islands, rates of calcification were measured in the deepest coral colonies and reported recently in a study led by a University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa oceanographer.

Researchers have identified how thyroxine, a human thyroid hormone, can positively influence the life-critical calcification in soft corals, and have developed a unique technique for injecting ...

Ocean acidification due to rising carbon dioxide levels will reduce the density of coral skeletons, making coral reefs more vulnerable to disruption and erosion, according to a new study of corals ...

A long-term study investigating the growth of corals in the Caribbean over the past century has shown that even stress-tolerant species of corals are finding it difficult to adapt to increasing ocean ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 56, No. 4 (2011), pp. 1200-1212 (13 pages) The effects of elevated CO₂ and temperature on photosynthesis and calcification in the calcifying algae Halimeda macroloba ...

If the trend of declining coral growth continues at the current rate, the world's coral reefs may cease calcifying around 2054, a new study has found. Drawing on research from the late 1960s until now ...

The world’s coral reefs could start to disappear by the middle of the century as stress induced by climate change erodes their skeletons faster than they can regenerate. Corals build their skeletons ...
